[CLHR097] Mike Foyle presents Statica - Blossom / Sundown

There are fewer producers who symbolise the Coldharbour Recordings story better than Englishman Mike Foyle. Dabbling in various production styles under a number of aliases, it is his work under the name of Statica that has made him a much respected figure in the community, from Space Guitar to Bittersweet Nightshade, and to its little brother, Deadly Nightshade, released at the beginning of 2010.

Now, Mike returns to light up Coldharbour's summer of 2010, with a double shot of melodic progressive trance grooves which have been much anticipated for many months.

Up first is "Blossom", a track which soothed the mind of many when listening to Disc 1 of Markus Schulz's Las Vegas '10 compilation. The original subsequently became a fan favorite on Markus' Global DJ Broadcast radio show, with regular plays as the seasons changed from winter to spring.

On remix duties for Blossom is one of the undoubted breakout talents of 2010, in the form of Russian Arty. Already a strong presence on Global DJ Broadcast playlists thanks to his plethora of originals and remixes, he makes his Coldharbour Recordings bow by giving Blossom more of a big room feel, and was a highlight as Markus kicked off another Ibiza Summer Sessions season.

However, not to be overshadowed by Blossom, Mike also presents a beautiful and touching effort in the shape of "Sundown", with a beautiful melody supplimented by some mesmerising Japanese vocals. Many are declaring Sundown as Mike's best work to date, and those sentiments are justified with one of the highlights of Coldharbour's summer releases.

With the sun splitting the trees, Mike Foyle's latest presentations are sure to provide a fitting soundtrack to a beautiful setting.
